Can't Buy Me Love
ByPublisher Description
Is it all too good to be true?
When Willow runs into her old university crush, Luke, she’s a new woman with a new look – not to mention a little bit more cash after a rather substantial inheritance. Could she be lucky enough to score a fortune and her dream man at the same time?
Then Willow meets Cal; a computer geek with a slightly odd sense of humour. They get on like a house on fire — although she soon realises that there is far more to her unassuming new friend than meets the eye …
But money doesn’t always bring happiness, and Willow finds herself struggling to know who to trust. Are the new people in her life there because they care – or is there another reason?
Previously released in the US as Reversing Over Liberace. Revised and edited by Choc Lit June 2016.

“Willow is one of five children born to hippie parents. Despite being in her early thirties, Willow remained single with limited relationships. After the death of her grandfather, Willow runs into her college crush, Luke, at a local bar. She is shocked to find out that he remembers her and wishes to get her number. Willow cannot believe her luck! She hopes to have the opportunity to finally end up in a relationship with Luke more than ten years after graduation.
The inheritance from her grandfather has a potential to blossom into something significant, and Willow is more than happy to share it with Luke. Along her way, Willow meets her brother's friend Cal, whom she enjoys immensely. The friendship that develops between Cal and Willow is odd, but something Willow quite enjoys. There are many things happening in Willow's life and she doesn't know quite who to trust.
Can't Buy Me Love is the first book that I've read from Ms. Lovering. As far as I can tell, I didn't miss anything from not reading the prior five novels. It read pretty quickly and seemed like a made-for-television movie.
4 out of 5 stars.
I received an advanced copy from the author, publisher, and NetGalley; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.”
“For more reviews like this, see my blog: http://musingsofmadjy.blogspot.com
Will's voice throughout is so fun and inviting, it really sucks you in from the first page! There is so much clever humor, and I loved the colorful descriptions and phrases used. And the characters are all so well-described, and generally warm, you just love all the quirks and eccentricities.
And Cal. How do I even begin to describe him? He is snarky, and clever, and funny, and sweet, and so caring... And insecure, but in the most heart-wrenching and adorable way. And beneath the "weird" is a crazy amount of spine-tingling sexy.
As a general rule, I'm not a fan of the heroine being with someone who isn't the love interest, but this is an exception. I spent a third of the book wondering why I wasn't feeling Will & Luke, until I realized.
The big discovery that Will makes was, admittedly, something I saw coming, in every way, very early one. From the first time Will started looking into what she really got from her grandfather. But that really didn't diminish even that aspect of this story for me, the ride and clues were just THAT fun!
I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. This is no way influenced my review. My opinion is my own.”
